Maxima Corp. uses a standard cost system with machine-hours as the activity base for both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead (VMOH & FMOH). The following information relates to production for last year:
Variable | Fixed | |
Total budgeted overhead (at the denominator level of activity) | $14,000 | ? |
Total applied overhead | $15,400 | $28,600 |
Total actual overhead | $15,700 | $31,800 |
The actual machine-hours incurred were 2,300. VMOH Efficiency Variance was $700 Unfavorable.
What was Maxima's FMOH Volume Variance?
Variable Overhead applied = standard rate * actual hours | |||||
$15400 =standard rate * 2300 hours | |||||
Standard Rate =6.6957 | |||||
Budgeted hours = Budgeted Overhead /* standard rate | |||||
=$14000/6.6957 | |||||
=2091 hours | |||||
Standard Rate for fixed overhead = $28600/2300 | |||||
=$12.43478 | |||||
Budgeted Fixed overhead =$12.43478*2091 | |||||
=$26000 | |||||
Fixed overhead volume variance = Overhead Incurred - Budgeted Overhead | |||||
=$26000-28600 | |||||
=$2600 ( Favorable) |
